Summer Whales

My name is Mike Braal  and  I am the Captain of the motor vessel Exodus a boat for charter in Alaska .      We specialize in 5 to 7 days nature and wildlife voyages.  While living aboard  the Exodus , we have many  intimate moments  with   the incredible wildlife and scenery of Southeast Alaska.

Young spruce trees and fireweed abundantly  decorate the shorelines.

 Our Inside Passage voyages take us along mile after mile  of incredble shoreline backed by verdant green mountains and valleys.  This area is home to  towering Sitka spruce, Hemlock and Cedar trees.   Some reaching heights of  200 feet and 30 feet around.  It is such an incredible feeling to walks in the forest and  be in the company of these giants! Bald eagles fabricate  their huge nests high in these trees.  Always , the nests have an excellant view of the waters below.  Salmon and herring are their main diet during the summer.I hope you will come on a trip with us  next summer.  Happy Trails!   Capt. Mike
